Kyle Walker stopped Lauryn Goodman relocating to Italy ahead of his move to AC Milan by refusing to allow her to rent out her Sussex mansion.
MailOnline can reveal the influencer, mother of the defender’s two love children, intended to bankroll her move with the proceeds from a rental agreement, but Kyle – who owns the £2.4m property – rejected the proposal.
Lauryn, 33, hoped to use the money to rent a place in Milan in order for Kyle, 34, to be close to their two children Kairo, four and 16-month-old daughter Kinara.
But the England defender, via his lawyers, told Lauryn renting out her five-bedroom Sussex mansion was a no-go, saying if she did want to move out, the property would have to be sold.
A source said: ‘Kyle just laughed when he heard of Lauryn’s proposal and booted it out straight away.
‘He’s not going to let her benefit from making several thousand pounds a month by renting out his property and going off to have a great time in Milan or anywhere else for that matter.

‘He’s also made it clear that the mansion can’t be left empty.
‘Lauryn either continues to live in it with the kids or it has to be sold if she’s determined to go abroad with them.’
Walker has completed a move to AC Milan and landed in Italy on Thursday to sign for the Italian giants, initially on loan until the end of the season, earning a reported £180,000 per week.
He held a private leaving party with Manchester City teammates and is keen to get going with the next stage of his career.
The source added: ‘Kyle is looking forward to a fresh start but he’s not going to allow Lauryn to take advantage of him even if he is going to be playing abroad.
‘What she’s proposing is just not on.’
Lauryn had previously expressed a desire to move to Dubai when Kyle was initially linked with a transfer to the lucrative Saudi league after he told City boss Pep Guardiola of his intentions of moving abroad.
But after agreeing a deal with AC Milan, Lauryn changed tact, telling pals she would follow Kyle ‘anywhere’ in a desperate bid for him to connect with their children, and no doubt deliberately irk his wife Annie Kilner, the mother of his fourth other children.

Lauryn’s constant plans to keep Kyle close have repeatedly backfired, with the sportsman’s move to Italy the latest blow to her plot to be part of his life
A move abroad is also appealing to Lauryn given she’s keen for a ‘change of scenery,’ following reports that she had fallen out with her family and best friend.
A source close to her said: ‘It’s been a turbulent time for Lauryn, and she is keen to have a change of scenery, where she can focus on the children.
‘She loved the idea of living somewhere sunny, like Dubai, temporarily.
‘Because Kyle owns the property, she has to ask his permission to rent it out. She would need to do that in order to be able to rent a property abroad.’
The insider added: ‘She’s no longer close to her family, so feels she doesn’t have any ties to the UK right now and has loved taking her children abroad on holiday to get away from everything.’
It also appears Lauryn has fallen out with her podcast co-host and ‘only friend’ Lisa Andrews – after the pair unfollowed each other on social media.
Lisa has also announced she is starting her own show called And That’s Another Story – just months after the first season of her and Lauryn’s tell-all podcast Yours Sincerely wrapped.
Walker’s wife Annie, 33, and their four children – Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, Reign, five, and nine-month-old baby Rezon – are expected to join him in Italy in a bid to save their marriage.
Annie served him with divorce papers in October and if she is to proceed he will face a mammoth battle for his £27million fortune (pictured with three of their children Roman, 12, Riaan, eight, Reign, six, in December 2023)

Last July Lauryn took Kairo to see his dad Kyle play in Germany at the Euros as she dressed her son Kairo in a ‘Daddy’ England shirt to support his father, while Annie also watched from the stands (pictured)
The couple have seemingly patched up their relationship after being on the verge of a costly £27million divorce a year ago.
A source told MailOnline: ‘Kyle and Annie have had a terrible year.
‘She was very close to filing for divorce at the end of last year. It looks like she’s changed her mind about the divorce for the time being and she will go to Italy with Kyle and the kids.
‘With all the problems they have had with Lauryn, who knows, maybe Milan will be a fresh start for them?’
Annie served Kyle with divorce papers last October and kicked him out of the family home in Cheshire after she discovered he had secretly fathered a second child with his ex-Lauryn.
Sources say Annie, who was pregnant with their fourth child when Lauryn dropped the bombshell, is now working on her relationship with Kyle ‘behind the scenes’.
An insider said: ‘The couple are committed to keeping their family as united as possible and protecting their four boys from any fallout.
‘They enjoyed Christmas together, as a family, and continue to work on their own relationship but as yet no decisions have been made.
‘They would love time and peace away from the spotlight and rumours to be able to continue working on things behind the scenes.’
